Feintool secures major contract for electric drives with innovative
bonding technology
Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR
Feintool wins an important new customer as a supplier of
rotors and stators. The multi-year contract for a renowned American
OEM has a lifetime volume in the triple-digit million euro range.
For the first time, the innovative Glulock Multidot (MD) bonding
technology will be used in high volume production for the main
drives of electric cars.
Feintool has been awarded a multi-year contract by a renowned
American original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The contract
involves supplying stators and rotors for the main drive of e-cars
over a six-year period and has a lifetime volume valued in the
three-digit million euro range.
For the first time, the innovative and patented Glulock MD
bonding technology will be used in high volume production to
manufacture these components. Winning this significant contract
underscores the outstanding performance of Feintool’s unique
Glulock MD technology. This customer-specific bonding process with
optimized mechanical and electromagnetic properties will be key in
the next generations of electric vehicle drives. By employing
several strategically placed adhesive dots on the sheet metal,
nearly full-surface bonding is achieved, effectively meeting
stringent tightness requirements as needed. This enhances the
efficiency of the e-machine through direct motor cooling. In
addition, the bonding on the yoke and tooth components ensures
optimal stability.
The drive components will be produced in one of the plants in
the Stamping business unit starting in the second semester of 2026.
Over 800,000 rotor-stator sets will serve as the core for electric
cars manufactured in Europe.
Torsten Greiner, CEO Feintool, is delighted: "This contract with
a renowned OEM strengthens our company as a leading manufacturer of
rotors and stators for electrically powered passenger cars. The
fact that our patented Glulock MD adhesive bonding technology is
being used shows that our technologies are mature and are gaining
traction in the electric mobility market."
